International Coaching Week 2025: Leading as a Coach
Did you know it only takes 85 people to destabilise a company of 3,000?
This International Coaching Week, we’re diving into what it really means to lead as a coach—and why that shift matters more than ever in teams, organisations and how we interact with our coaching client.
The event caters for both our in person (in London) and virtual communities. Our aim is to come together and master the art of leading as a coach.
The morning session is an invitation for Leaders. What are the leadership roles needed to lead organisational transformation? And how can leading as a coach help?
We will hear from a leader involved in a transformation as we discuss and practise the art of role shifts. Shifting between instructing and getting things done to facilitating conversations which increase the relationship links that are needed to deliver on what is emerging.
This session is an invitation to play the many ways of leading as a coach. Leaders are no longer just managing tasks; they’re shaping culture, holding space, and influencing and being influenced through relationships.
We'll explore how to step into this role, using tools like the Designed Team Alliance (DTA) to build environments where people feel safe to speak up—even when they’re unsure if they “should.” Because sometimes, it’s one small voice that changes the direction of a team—or an entire company.
The afternoon session flips the focus to coaches. This session will tackle the other side of the conversation: how coaches can support leaders who are stepping into this new identity. It’s not just about individual development anymore—it’s about co-creating a shift in how leadership happens. Coaches will learn how to work with the real-time tensions leaders face, specifically with shifting between the two roles, as well as merging them together, and the balance between directive action and relational awareness.
But before we focus on the coaching client we will look at your role as a coach…who are you serving? Do you have a reluctance (even an aversion) to specifying your niche? What is the cost (if any) of not being clear.
This coaching clinic will highlight the subtle but powerful tools and skills that transform leadership—Because when 85 people can destabilise a company of 3,000, the relational side of leadership isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s mission critical.
This International Coaching Week team coaching clinic is for those ready to move from managing the “what” to leading the “how.” Join us for real talk, real tools, and a clear path toward leadership that makes a difference.
